It isn't just too many people. It is also brain dead politicians and voters who think they can have it all by raising taxes. Nope, doesn't and can't work. With all its resources CA should not be in as bad a shape as it is. Until the Gov't (never happen) and the voters (unlikely to happen) acknowledge that they are handling things wrong it will only get worse. The total number of people is high, but it is a BIG State.

Life's too short to live in crowded conditions and really bad air!

Oh, and your pom-poms are beginning to shed. Time for a new pair.
You might consider growing up, your perseverating on me is not the act of a mature person, unless, maybe you want to be my boyfriend?

Already been done here; East Bay Regional Parks is currently operating several state parks.
Your rational approach is not welcome around here, remember, the sky is falling and it is all the fault of the Mexicans.

Many years ago, I considered incorporating in Nevada. I thought about this because so many of the wealthy in California had done so. They incorporated in California to avoid taxes, but, they remained living in California, because they liked the place.

No. The poor won't be the only ones left. Think about why. I know you can figure it out.

You might consider dealing more with issues and less with dithering in inanities. The constant stream of insults you hand out to so many illustrates the weakness of not just your arguments but your character. The point I was making was that California doesn't really need a repetitive cheerleader. It actually speaks for itself.

By the way, that's twice today. Do you have some hang-up about gay issues?

Good night!
